Kansas: A Tornado of Truck-driving Jobs Available Now

The word from Kansas is clear, more jobs than drivers and they're talking jobs available in the thousands. The Truckload Carriers Association estimates as many as 200,000 long-haul truck driver jobs are available nationwide and they also site thousands of these jobs are in Kansas.

While the Kansas Department of Commerce reports a more modest figure of 1,600 current truck driving positions, they see it as a high enough demand to be taking an active role in filling these jobs. Kansas Commerce Secretary Pat George says, “This is a tremendous opportunity to work in a high demand, well paying occupation. We want everyone to know that these trucker jobs are open now for individuals with the right training.”

Taking it a step further than getting the word out, the department and its KansasWorks Local Workforce Investment Board Partners have established a funding program for eligible new drivers to receive such training. Recipients receive tuition scholarships to attend Commercial Driver's License training through approved training schools.

Schools such as the Wichita Driving School, offering a five-week program that has students out the door with their CDL and onto a well-paid truck driving job. Even without scholarships, the tuition at this school is a low $3000 compared to most other post-secondary education or job training options and this one immediately starts paying for itself over and over again. But even still, one school instructor reports that the demand for drivers is sill exceeding the students they're putting out. So what is the trucking industry to do?

Keep getting the word out and continue improving the job conditions to get further endorsement from the experienced drivers. Such as driver Reggie Wright who describes the benefits beyond pay as being similar to the freedom felt in the cowboy days. For those who don't like the confinements of an office and the rigid 9-5 routine, being alone on the road certainly has it strong appeal.
